Lakemont is a very small town located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 2,763 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lakemont is the 231st largest community in Georgia.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 16.14% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Lakemont is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Lakemont’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

Because of many things, Lakemont is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Lakemont a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Lakemont has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Lakemont’s overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the country, making it one of the safest places to raise a family.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Lakemont has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Lakemont a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

Being a small town, Lakemont does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.

The education level of Lakemont citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 29.99% of adults in Lakemont have at least a bachelor's degree.
